Answer 1

It's likely maintenance happens every once and awhile (especially this late) although they have definitely had downtime before (see https://github.com/tenex/rails-assets/issues/329).

Doing a simple curl you can see they simply aren't responding to any requests:

$ curl 'https://rails-assets.org/api/v1/dependencies?gems=rails-assets-angular%2Crails-assets-bootstrap-2.3.2%2Crails-assets-bootstrap-3%2Crails-assets-jasmine%2Crails-assets-jqueryjs%2Crails-assets-rainbow%2Crails-assets-typeahead.js' -D - --max-time 10
